Why Does SLAM Care That I Run SSRS?

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'AWS.SLAM.ComponentService' threw an exception. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException:
Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\slam.config'.

Doesn't seem to affect SLAMing, but the error is odd. FWIW, I am running RS in SharePoint integrated mode.

I do not have any experience dealing with SSRS, but I assume from this error that it must be updating list items. I suspect that if you did put a slam config into the ReportServer location shown in your event log you'd see a bunch of SLAM update events
logged in the SLAMEventLog.
